Barton glory for Co Sligo as Woods lifts Banbridge

CO SLIGO comfortably disposed of Limerick by seven holes in a one-sided Bulmers Barton Shield final at Enniscrone yesterday.

And if Tiger Woods made a shock first round exit at Wentworth, it was a glory day for his namesake, Trevor, who clinched Banbridge’s first Bulmers Irish Junior Cup when he won the 18th against the Castle’s Ronan Burke in the vital match and then got home at the first extra hole.

Even without the unavailable Cian McNamara, Limerick had looked a decent bet against Co Sligo but they never recovered from losing the first two holes in the top match and the opening three in the second.
